A reminder that Audrey 2 is voiced by Levi Stubbs of The Four Tops fame. Here's the song I know them and him best for. youtube.com/watch?v=joqjBA…

The same people/alleged crew members who are bitching at Coppola today over failure to use VFX over practical in would have ruined with a not there Audrey 2 digital special effect, as opposed to practical puppetry.

This place figures prominently in Dyan Cannon's autobio about her relationship with Cary Grant, and in a great story Nancy Meyers told at year about riding Gene Siskel's coattails for a weekend with Grant while Gene did an interview. lamag.com/news/nancy-mey…

I hate posting the obvious, or to be 'boomer-'splaining' but there may be some much younger, more casual goers who don't know that this guy had the original Bill Murray part as a masochist dental patient (pretty warped for the time).

Rick Moranis was a reference on SNL last night in a sketch about character actors being assaulted in NYC (Buscemi being the latest). It sounds in bad taste (it may well be) but it was also an affectionate spin on 'that guy' actors. youtu.be/36r6-5px_ZA?si…

I love . The cast is fantastic, the music and practical effects are great. If you ever get a chance to see the stage version, go--it's a blast and the live puppetry is amazing. And what a treat for those of us who knew the Roger Corman movie first.

Im taking a Japanese class on weekends and as long as all the dialogue in consists of “How is the weather?” and “Where is the bathroom?” I may be able to tweet through this movie in 日本語.

I saw a few years ago as part of the Criterion Channel 'Japanese Noir' collection. I may be biased because of my interest in Japan, the language, and its film, but as I recall It's a great watch.

Good lord--when you are in the other room away from the TV and the MGM Crime Doesn't Pay short and you immediately recognize Hugh Beaumont's voice in a bit part.

I love this Betty Garret @TCM interstitial where she talks about effortlessly lifting and slinging skinny Frank Sinatra over her shoulders and lugging him around.
